75. Go on a roadtrip!

December 26-28th, 2010

Alex, David, Erin, and Danny depart from California travelling roughly 300+ miles to Arizona to visit family.

We left pretty stinking early considering the day before was Christmas and David and I had traveled to Temecula area to spend Christmas with his Dad's side of the family.  I was a late evening due to the weather and traffic, but we managed to get up early with a smile on our faces in order make this trip magical! And I must say, that it was exactly that!

We didn't get any photos of us on our way up, I think we were all too tired for that, but I did snap a few at the beginning of our trip back...

 David and I love traveling together, although we have only really gone as far as Vegas and Arizona.. so we haven't done much.. yet!

 We're a silly bunch! But the boys didn't want to play for this shot.

 All smiles.. very tired smiles - but smiles none-the-less!

And then the boys come out of their shell!.. well David at least!

We had a blast in Arizona! Visiting our niece had to be the best ever!! She is the cutest little thing and makes us laugh, it was really hard to leave her and Danielle.  Only urges us to go back ASAP!

Overall - successful trip!

71. Go to a comedy show

When adding this goal to my list, I envisioned sitting at The Improv watching a stand up comedian.  But this opportunity could not be passed up! It was free, it involves an entertainer who happens to be one of my absolute favorites, and I was able to bring 4 other people.. for FREE!

Ridiculousness is the show.

Rob Dyrdek is the host.

Johnny Knoxville and Chanel are the guests.

My excitement was through the roof!

Basically this show is called Ridiculousness and it features video clips, from YouTube or other sites where people have submitted their captured stunts, and Rob categorizes them into different titles and presents them for laughs.  It was pretty funny, I must say.  Especially with Johnny Knoxville there! That was a surprise when we got there, we weren't sure who was going to be the guest and I was pleasantly surprised!

I whistled at him when he came out :) 

You'll have to check your local listings for when this will be presented in your area.  I hear it is supposed to begin late January.

This is actually a shot of the episode we went to and was the second to last showing! TiVo it to try and see us in the crowd!

The only person missing was Drama, that would have made my fantasy!

72. Watch the Sunrise & Sunset in the same day

December 26, 2010

6a.m.(ish)

California

Erin, Danny, David, and I were leaving Starbucks and I looked over and noticed, through the buildings, the sun was peeking up and decided this would be a great opportunity to caputre it!

The sky is so beautiful in the morning, I was so excited to see this!

December 26, 2010

5p.m.(ish)

Arizona

After arriving in Arizona, we played around for a long while and afte returning from a trip to the store I saw the sun setting and was captivated by it.  Arizona's sunsets are amazing!

#72 done and done! Beautiful!

22. Learn how to make Guacamole

I was never really into guac until I tried it just a few years ago and now I'm hooked! AND Erin makes the best guac ever, so I figured I had to.. no NEEDED to learn how to make it myself!  One night while Shans was over at Erin's apartment, I had the bright idea of completing this goal, with an audience watching!

It was rough, to say the least, but now I'm a pro!

First! Get enough avocados to fulfill the tummys of your guests.  There was only 3 of us, so we used 4.  Cut the avocados in half and take out the seed.  Then spoon out the inside of the avocado into a bowl

Cut up about a half an onion, if you aren't fond of onions I'd say a quarter of an onion would probably be fine also.

Put the onions into the bowl with the avocados and then cut up and crush a piece of garlic and add in as well.

Take a 'bunch' of cilantro, about the size shown, and chop that to small pieces.  Erin taught me an easy way to do this! Roll the cilantro into a little taquito looking thing and then start chopping.

Use about a lime and a half, depending on your preference, and squeeze the juice into the bowl.  If you cut the lime in half and then take a fork and squeeze the half around the fork you'll get the most of your lime! Erin also taught me that!

Mix it alllll together!  Taste and see if you need anything else! Add serranos, cayenne powder, and salsa if you wish to make it spicy! Which we totally did!

*Also, somewhere in the mix you can add tomatoes too!  I didn't because I don't like tomatoes, but its a regular ingredient in most guacamole dishes.

ENJOY!

What's on your Christmas list?

In lieu of the holidays and it being TEN days until Christmas.. I was wondering what everyone was asking for???

I had a bit of a hard time this year giving ideas to my parents and David, but I feel like I asked for just what I wanted, and would have probably bought myself - which may be why I couldn't think of what to ask for.

Heart of the Matter by: Emily Giffin

Erin and I love Giffin's books and have read all of them! This is Giffin's newest delight and I cannot wait to see if Santa brought it to me so I can dive in!

Lauren Conrad is quite the fashionista but she is also an amazing author! I have also read all of her books thus far and have been patiently waiting for this! Of course, by the time I thought to finally purchase, Christmas is right around the corner!

I love love LOVED this movie and it recently came out.  It is among a few movies that I'm craving to watch bundled up eating snacks with David.

Of course my little gems that I hinted to David about cannot be shown because the site will not let me save them but one can be seen here :)

This 'Torque' ring is so fascinating and I feel like it is so unique!

We'll see what Santa brings!!!

Share with me your gift ideas!
